Tom Morello Joining Bruce Springsteen for Entire 2026 U.S. Tour

Tom Morello is officially joining Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band for selected songs at every stop on their 2026 Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour.

The 20-show U.S. run begins March 31 at Target Center in Minneapolis and wraps May 27 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.

Tom Morello Joining Every 2026 Springsteen Tour Date

Springsteen’s official site announced Morello’s tour-wide guest role in a Feb. 24 update, “Just Announced: Special Guest Tom Morello.”

In comments carried by Rolling Stone, Morello said: “I was reminded how important our platform is, and how crucial the resistance work is that our music can do together at this dangerous historical juncture. Together, Bruce, the E Street Band, and I are going to turn a spotlight on the current threats to democracy and human rights happening all around us on the ‘Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour’ in the spirit of freedom, justice and rock n roll.”

Tour Context and Why It Matters

Springsteen previously framed the run as a tour “in celebration and in defense of America — American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream.”

This is Springsteen and the E Street Band’s first North American run since 2024, and Morello’s presence adds another marquee draw to one of 2026’s biggest U.S. arena tours.
